Fish List

I love fish so much. I have only been thinking about fish. Here is a list of my favorite fish in no particular order, with facts and random commentary sprinkled in between.

Copper Rockfish

If someone asks me what my favorite fish is, I'll say Copper Rockfish. It was the first fish I ever caught (and had to put back, since Rockfish are endangered), but genuinely I just think they look really neat. They're my favorite out of all of the Rockfish species.

2. Quillback Rockfish

Though Copper Rockfish are my favorite Rockfish, I'll also shoutout Quillback. I really like how their spines are blue, and standout really well against the yellow and black. All Rockfish are venomous (to my understanding), but I've always found these ones to be the most intimidating if only because the spines are so much bigger than the other subspecies.

3. Sockeye Salmon (spawning)

For those who don't know, salmon spawning is when salmon return to their birthplace (freshwater) to lay eggs and die, and they also change appearance. Pre-spawning, while they are in saltwater, all the different subspecies pretty much look the same: silver and lumpy, with only minor differences between them. When spawning, they all turn more green and red and become more distinct from one another. I've always liked Sockeye the most, with their green heads and bright red bodies, and the shape of their heads/mouths. I think it's really an iconic look.

4. Flounder

I love flounder just because they look stupid. Fun fact: they don't actually start flat. They're born looking like "normal" fish, with one eye on each side of the head, but as they grow the face shifts onto the top and they flatten to better blend in with the sea floor. Imagine hitting puberty and you turn into Flat Stanley lmao.

5. Cabezon

Cabezon, like Rockfish, have venomous spines. Also their meat is blue until you cook it, where it turns white, which I think is neat. Usually, they reside really deep in the ocean, but in fall and winter they come more into the shallows to make nests and lay eggs. The males are left behind to guard them, so this is the best time to catch one if you don't want to go out on a boat, and also don't want to worry about catching a female. I've never eaten one, but my dad says that they have a texture more similar to chicken.

6. Betta

Pretty basic species of domestic fish, but I still really like them. I had a red and blue male as a kid named Spike. Bettas are usually surface/top fish, but Spike liked to go to the bottom to feed with the Emerald Corydoras I had, and sleep on the moss ball (like it was a little bed). He had a surprising amount of personality for a fish.

7. Emerald Corydora

Corydoras are basically just little freshwater catfish. They like to be in groups, so you have to have at least five if you want to have them at all. I had Emerald Corydoras growing up, and I loved watching them spend all day picking at the sand with their little whiskers for food. They remind me of cows.

8. Panda Corydora

Panda Corydoras are also really neat. I like how shiny they can be, I think it makes them look like little Pokémon.

9. Albino Corydora

Albino Corydoras are cool, especially in comparison to the other species. I think they all look like little old men.

10. Koi

Another kind of basic fish, but they're still cool and I want to point them out. They can get really big if they're not kept in a small enclosure (Domestic Koi can get between 12 and 15 inches, Japanese Koi between 22 and 26, and Jumbo Koi between 34 and 36).

11. Pufferfish

Like flounders, they also look stupid and it amuses me endlessly. They have these two front teeth for breaking into snail shells and slurping them out. I remember there was this really big one at the fish store I used to go to (nearly identical to the one pictured on the left) that would follow your finger if you dragged it across the glass, all the while with that big-ass stupid smile on it's face. They're just so full of whimsy.

12. Telescope Goldfish

Never owned them but I think they're really neat. "Awooga!!" ahh fish. What are they goggling at smh.

Another Luminous post! This time, not story. Entirely solo dives and wonderings I now have. And I have discovered more tablets (and figured out how those blasted circles work!) so, just like last time, there are probably (undoubtedly) spoilers ahead.

Alright. So in some of the promo material, we were shown structures and ruins and icebergs and caves and all that. And having played more, I can confirm a lot more legendaries made it to Luminous than I had anticipated (still no Maga Tapa sadly, maybe he’ll be a UML? Doubtful but hey, I just wanna see him again outside of Manoa Lao).

Now, regarding biomes. I will admit, each square on the map seems to be a different tile set. This does provide variety but at some point you see some of them and no what is in it and where it all is. I don’t mind this personally, treasure isn’t always the same. Tablets… those seems to be the same and can be repeated in the same map, so that’s less fun. I’ll get to those in a bit though. Continuing on with these tiles, they are usually not the same ones touching one another. Sometimes they’re a single tile such as the “there is literally nothing but sand” one. Sometimes they’re a 2x2 segment (micro atoll, some rocky canyons, some kelp forests, and more). However, from the maps I’ve seen, there is usually one specific 5x5 area that is an entire biome. These are the ones I REALLY want to talk about as the 2x2 and 1x1 can be called most of the “normal” sea.

Frozen Sea. As you might guess, this is an iceberg area. Now you can simply travel under it and, yeah, there’s some stuff under it, crabs and small fish, but most stuff is either around it (dolphins and narwhals), but most is IN it. Dolphins, Greenland Sharks, Silverfish, Orcas, and more. There is even an ice cave inside this cave. Now, finding the entrance/exit… can take a while. I will admit I passed it twice before I found it. Overall a rather enjoyable segment.

Freshwater Caves. Another one where you do need to know where the entrance is. I’d say it’s an expansive network of caves except it isn’t. It’s more like the iceberg. You have an entrance, it dumps you into a larger interior, and there is a smaller cave inside. However, this biome is where you will find your catfish and other freshwater fish. So, all else being equal, it’s about the same as the frozen sea, just a slightly different tile set and species list. Still an enjoyable area though.

The Abyss. Haaa… I don’t like the abyss. Not because it’s a bad biome! I just don’t like being that deep with those creatures. Especially Praya Dubia… *shudder*. Anyways, ignoring that… THING… it’s a very diverse biome surprisingly for being at a depth of 180 meters. From the itsy bitsy critters (there are some TINY ones down there) all the way up to… THAT… there’s a bit for everyone here! Potentially even a Thanatos (I swear, had a dive site with 3 of him… so Threenatos?). This is a good moment for me to explain circles as this is where I figured them out. The circles are all the same, brown and interactable. They all tell you to return with a creature. In this specific case, it was to find the white insect that lived on the floor. A giant isopod. Simply find what is requested (giant isopod), hope you have the capacity for it, and then have the creature follow you to the circle and you’re done! Mystery solved! Future circles with the same thing will tell you that it’s already been done and what mystery it was. But yes, the abyss. Deep, dark, some creatures I don’t like and others I do, overall a very well done biome.

Last biome I’ve discovered (also possibly the last unique biome, can’t quite say yet). Ruins. The game calls it the Ancient Sea, and I understand why, but the ruins are just as important (more on that next with the tablets). Now, these ruins are likely old (as in at least ten thousand years). Now, the creatures we can discover here… that’s also the case. Definitely old. As in there are creatures that date back to the Devonian Period. (To save you the trouble, Devonian ended 359 million years ago and began 416 million years ago) Needless to say, there’s a lot of dinosaurs in this area! Plesiosaurs, Coelacanths, Nautiloids, and a LOT more. As someone that was once very knowledgeable with dinosaurs and such, WOW did I explore the daylights out of that place. The giant tower/lighthouse, the collapsed buildings, the stone boxes, all of it. This is my FAVORITE biome (yes it’s because it’s an ancient civilization inhabited by dinosaurs).

Time for the tablets! Now, I’ve discovered some of the tablets, definitely not all of them. There were a people before the Oannes (see previous Luminous post) called the Apkallu that created a massive lighthouse (think Tower of Babel height, the thing is and was massive). Now, there are other tablets about some God(?) named Ea. Ea created(?) everything(?) and then sent seven sages. I think I’m missing a tablet around here personally because the next logical one is that one of those seven left(?) or was unhappy(?). However, before the Apkallu became the Oannes, they left behind a “two pronged key”. Quick salvage note, the anchor coin is described as a two prong, so chances are this key was an anchor. Ridiculous, but not Okeanos protecting the Pacifica Treasure ridiculous (seriously, the only way to reach it is by swimming meaning it had to flood so you could reach it). Continuing, apparently the “foolish kings” saw the two pronged key as useless and salvage. Then the tower fell into the ocean because the Oannes were unable to control the power(??). As stated, I’m definitely missing some tablets and pages of this story. But it is intriguing! And it is reminiscent of the Okeanides, which is no surprise considering the amount of callbacks to Blue World (a model of Jean Eric’s boat, a birthday note to Oceanne, Daniel essentially being another GG, all the returning Blue World Legendaries).

Now with all that being said and done, there are still things I’m wondering about. Specifically the Dragon’s Eyes (salvage). Allegedly the rumor is that these are made from an actual dragon’s eye and that when you look at it it feels as if it’s looking back at you. I have three. How many eyes does this dragon have? How many dragons are there? Are they the singing dragon’s eyes? And why did this dragon have so much stuff? Statues, rings, even a coin!

Another one I wonder about, the philosopher’s stone. I’ve found two of them. How many did Nicholas Flamel create and why did they decide throwing them in the ocean was the best call in the long run? Did Dumbledore just request some student to take the stone and toss it into the ocean or something?

Alright, that’s the end of my ramblings. Gonna be fairly quiet next week (Destiny fans, don’t worry, I’ll still tell you the nightfall, raid, and dungeon) but expect to see more stuff after that! (Maybe I’ll remember to start taking pictures when I dive so I can actually show what I mean instead of a wall of text). And yes, there will be a lengthy post on UMLs (there seem to be quite a few of them), the completed tablets and circles, and the rest of the story.

Mastering the Waters: What Is the Most Effective Fishing Method?

Fishing is a time-honored tradition enjoyed by millions around the globe. There are countless methods and techniques designed to improve the chances of landing a prized catch. From simple handlines to sophisticated deep-sea rigs, each method has its own advantages and challenges. However, when determining the most effective fishing method, many factors include the environment, target species, and the angler’s experience. After evaluating these aspects, angling with artificial lures is one of the most effective and versatile fishing methods.

In this article, we’ll explore why lure fishing stands out, what makes it effective, and how it compares to other popular fishing methods like bait fishing, fly fishing, and trolling.

The Rise of Artificial Lures: Versatility and Effectiveness

Artificial lures are artificial imitations of prey that fish naturally feed on, such as minnows, insects, or crustaceans. These lures come in various shapes, sizes, colors, and designs, allowing anglers to adapt to different water conditions, fish species, and habitats. Their versatility makes them a favorite among both recreational and professional anglers, as they can be used in various environments, including freshwater lakes, rivers, and even the open sea.

One of the primary reasons lure fishing is so effective is its ability to engage the fish’s predatory instincts actively. Unlike passive bait fishing, which relies on a fish finding and taking the bait on its own, lure fishing allows the angler to mimic the movement and behavior of real prey, enticing fish to strike out of instinct. By controlling the lure's action, speed, and retrieval, anglers can trigger aggressive strikes from fish, leading to higher catch rates.

Benefits of Lure Fishing

Lure fishing offers numerous benefits that contribute to its effectiveness:

Targeting Specific Species: The ability to customize lures for specific fish species is a major advantage. For example, bass lures often mimic the erratic movements of injured baitfish, while trout lures may imitate insects that float on the water's surface. This specificity ensures that anglers use the right tools for the job, increasing their chances of success.

Active Engagement: Lure fishing requires more active participation from the angler. Casting, retrieving, and adjusting the lure's action engages the angler in fishery, providing a more interactive experience. This makes it particularly appealing for those who enjoy the thrill of the hunt and want to feel more in control of the outcome.

Covering More Water: Lure fishing allows anglers to cover a larger area in less time. With bait fishing, you are often limited to a specific spot, waiting for fish to come to you. In contrast, lure fishing enables the angler to cast repeatedly across different zones, searching for active fish. This mobility increases the likelihood of finding a productive area.

Reducing Bycatch: Bycatch, or the unintended capture of non-target species, is a common issue in many forms of fishing. Lures help mitigate this problem by attracting the desired species, making it less likely to catch unintended or undersized fish. This leads to a more sustainable fishing practice, reducing stress on fish populations and allowing for a better catch-and-release experience.

Comparing Lure Fishing to Other Methods

While lure fishing offers numerous advantages, it’s important to understand how it compares to other popular fishing methods, including bait fishing, fly fishing, and trolling.

Bait Fishing

Bait fishing is one of the oldest and simplest methods. It uses live or dead bait to attract fish. Common baits include worms, minnows, and cut fish, which emit natural scents that appeal to the fish’s sense of smell. This method is highly effective for certain species, especially those that rely heavily on scent to locate food, such as catfish and carp.

However, bait fishing can sometimes be less effective than lure fishing for several reasons. First, it is a passive technique, requiring anglers to wait for fish to come to the bait. This can be time-consuming, particularly when fish are not actively feeding. Second, bait can attract a wider variety of species, increasing the chance of bycatch and making it more difficult to target specific fish.

Despite these limitations, bait fishing remains a go-to option for many anglers, particularly beginners. Its simplicity and effectiveness in certain situations make it a valuable method for various species, especially when fishing where scent-based attraction is key.

Fly Fishing

Fly fishing is a specialized technique that uses lightweight artificial flies to mimic insects or other small prey. This method is particularly effective in rivers, streams, and lakes where fish like trout and salmon are the primary targets. The casting technique in fly fishing is an art form, requiring precision and skill to present the fly in a way that mimics the natural drift of prey.

Fly fishing is highly effective in specific environments and for certain species, but it is less versatile than lure fishing. The equipment is more specialized, and the technique requires significant practice and expertise. Additionally, fly fishing is generally limited to freshwater environments, making it less adaptable to saltwater or deep-sea fishing.

Fly fishing is best suited for anglers seeking a challenging and immersive experience. It offers a deep connection with the environment and requires understanding fish behavior and insect life cycles. While effective in its niche, fly fishing lacks the versatility and broader appeal of lure fishing.

Trolling

Trolling involves dragging lures or baited lines behind a moving boat, covering a wide water area. This method is particularly effective in large bodies of water, such as lakes and oceans, where fish may be scattered. Trolling is commonly used for species like walleye, salmon, and marlin, and it is an essential technique in big-game fishing.

While trolling is effective in open water and targeting large species, it requires specialized equipment, such as boats, downriggers, and heavy-duty rods and reels. It also lacks the hands-on engagement of lure fishing, as the boat’s movement does most of the work in presenting the bait or lure. For this reason, many anglers prefer the more active and engaging nature of casting lures from shore or smaller boats.

Mastering Lure Fishing Techniques

To maximize the effectiveness of lure fishing, anglers must understand the different types of lures and how to use them effectively. Some of the most common lures include:

Crankbaits: These lures mimic injured fish and are effective for species like bass, pike, and walleye. Their wobbling action during retrieval makes them particularly enticing to predatory fish.

Spinnerbaits: These lures feature a spinning blade and create vibrations and flashes that attract fish from a distance. They are ideal for murky water conditions and work well for bass and pike.

Soft Plastics: These lures imitate worms, frogs, or other small creatures and are commonly used for bass fishing. Their lifelike movement and versatility make them a favorite among many anglers.

Topwater Lures: These lures float on the surface, creating splashes or noises that trigger fish to strike. They are particularly effective for bass and pike in shallow waters.

Mastering these different lure types and understanding how fish behave in different environments can significantly improve your chances of success. Experimenting with different retrieval speeds, depths, and actions will allow you to fine-tune your approach and adapt to specific conditions.

Why Lure Fishing Stands Out

L lure fishing is the most effective method in the diverse angling world due to its versatility, active engagement, and adaptability across various environments. Whether targeting bass in a freshwater lake or chasing pike in a river, lure fishing offers the perfect balance of challenge, excitement, and success.

Mastering the art of lure fishing opens the door to countless fishing opportunities for both beginner and experienced anglers, making it one of the most rewarding methods in the sport.

Having climbed up and down the ray fined fish taxonomy tree on wikipedia for awhile ( not the first time but retain more every time of-course) heres some notes

Over Two thirds of the worlds freshwater fish species are in Ostariophysi , and over a quarter of total species, the catfish ( very diverse) Cypriniformes ( carps and minnows, loaches, suckers, algae eaters , carp, etc) Characiformes ( a very diverse group of mostly latin american ( but some African) fish, tetras, piranhas , pacu etc) as well as knife-fish( including electric eel) and the milkfish and a few close freshwater cousincousins

Some catfish live in saltwater?

Cyprinids ( Carp + minnow… etc?) doesn’t look like its sorted and terminology is confusing, but loach is a proper group

Ricefish ( tiny fish associated with rice paddies) and buntingi ( tiny fish from the same Sulawesi lake as a-lot of the shrimp and snail species in aquariums) are in the same small group as flying fish and some other pelagic fish like halfbeaks and needlefish

The Salamander Fish, separated from other fish 240 million years ago, is found in only a tiny corner pf Australia, and is Endangered, it lives in small water pools and survives by digging in the sand and hibernating the dry season like lungfish

Killifish is slightly parapheletic, the group includes the ecologically similar pupfishes and split-fins, but also a more different group with the four eyed fish and the livebearers( guppies, mosquitofish etc)

Gouramis ( including bettas) and snakeheads are sister taxa, I assumed the primitive air breathing was convergent, it is with arapaima and lungfish and bichir)

Stomiiforms includes bristle mouth ( most numerous vertebrates genus) and dragonfish and marine hatchetfish and most of the sort of generic stereotypical “ deep sea ( mesopelagic not abyss)” deep sea fish, mostly long and noodley and bioluminescencent with big eyes and fangs

Tube Eyes feel like they belong in Stomiiforms but apparently are closest related to the cod/pollock/burbot etc clade

Switching between fresh and saltwater or the deep sea and the surface is like, no big deal, its not anything like the evolving flight or the ability to breath air, these switches happen constantly ( relatively speaking)

The Percomorpha, which includes like half of total species, didn’t start diversifying until around the K-Pg mass extinction , in particular this group includes alot of “ coral reef fish” ( damselfish( including clownfish) , marine angelfish ,marine butterfly fish, seahorses , goatfish, snappers, groupers, blennies, gobies, Sturgeon fish, triggerfish, mahi mahi, snappers, rabbitfish, wrasse, lion fish, stone fish, parrotfish, cow fish, pufferfish etc) apparently modern coral reefs didn’t form until the late cretaceous when the Rudist bivalves that were previously the main sessile organism in similar reefs went extinct

BEST SERVICE OH FISHING CHARTERS

The best way to have a successful day on the water and get on the fish is by booking a fishing charter. Fishing charters are led by experienced captains and guides who have precise local knowledge and the right gear. There are no guarantees in fishing, but booking a fishing charter is as close as you can get. To better understand what fishing charters are and the different trips they offer, we’ll break it down. Fishing charters are generally recreational fishing boats for hire that come with a captain or guide and sometimes crew. The captain and crew will provide the boat, gear, and local knowledge needed to give you the best fishing experience possible in exchange for payment. Fishing charters are a great way to gain fishing knowledge from the experts that are almost always more than happy to share what they have learned.

Types of Fishing Charters

The four standard categories of fishing are inland (freshwater), inshore, nearshore, and offshore. Within these categories, anglers use a variety of different fishing styles or approaches to catch fish, which offer completely different experiences. Fishing charters usually specialize in one type of fishing so they can offer the best trip possible.

Freshwater Fishing Charters

inland fishing is an umbrella term that covers all types of freshwater fishing. The diverse range of environments, fish species, and tackle used for freshwater fishing allows charters to offer an assortment of different trips. The trips range from fly fishing for trout to bottom fishing for catfish or flipping for bass and can be as specific or as general as you want.

Inshore Fishing Charters

Inshore fishing is a broad category of saltwater fishing that takes place from the backwater estuaries to just beyond the jetties and beaches. Fishing along the coast or in the shallow backwaters offers nonstop action minutes from the dock. The most popular types of inshore fishing include wade, jetty, and flats fishing. Each type of inshore fishing can also be done using different fishing styles with casting, drifting, and bottom fishing being the most popular.

Nearshore Fishing Charters

Nearshore Fishing is a great balance between huge fish and less travel. These trips tend to have calm seas and hard fighting fish, which is perfect for anglers of all levels. Nearshore fishing takes place in the waters past the jetties, beaches, and bays out to the offshore drop off. The most common fishing styles for nearshore trips are trolling, bottom fishing, and casting, which is the most active of the three.

Offshore Fishing Charters

Offshore fishing is a popular category of fishing that happens miles from shore, while chasing the biggest sportfish in the world. This category of saltwater fishing takes place in deep water (hence why it’s often called deep sea fishing) and provides anglers with unmatched action. Typically, boats have to travel miles away from shore to reach the deep water where giant fish like blue marlin and swordfish roam. The most common types of offshore fishing trips are trolling, drifting, and bottom fishing.

top five fish GO!

number one is the coelacanth. really hard to tell with the username isnt it. sorry i just cant deny the appeal of the coelacanth. every interaction we've ever had with them has been so peaceful and watching them move is elegant and godly. they certainly feel like living fossils, its an apt title for them. theyre blue. they have stars in their scales. theyre gorgeous. such a charming fish

number 2 is the epaulette shark!!! this little guy is learning to WALK. they can crawl out of the water into shallower pools on their fins!! they waddle around like if seals only used their flippers to move, instead of throwing their whole bodies around. not to mention theyre cute as HELL. i find them comparable to the dachshunds of the sea i mean look at this widdol guy

number 3 is the ocean sunfish / mola mola!! holy shit getta load of these guys. while theyre insanely goofy looking, and while st first, many people may mistake them for brainless, lazy fish, mola mola are actually quite active! we as humans mostly just see them when they come to the surface to warm themselves back up after hunting in the deep ocean. these guys are also filled to the brim with a shit ton of parasites, and allow a lt of parasitic animals to thrive. mola mola r really cool. and very big.

the next is tricky.. its a total tossup, but i think hagfish take the spot. insanely charming animals to me. their little moustaches really endear me to them!! not to mention they have one of the coolest non lethal methods to shake predators off them! they secrete a disgusting slime from their skin when distressed. whenever a predator may go to bite down or get a mouthful of hagfish, the hagfish will release a bunch of slime, completely filling the predators mouth, and wiggle free. they also tie themselves into knots to position their own digestive tract better!! literally instead of just forming their intestines better they opted to evolve their bodies to be able to tie into a knot to be more efficient at eating. they fucking rule. 10/10 would eat next to at the whale fall

and last isssss....

YOU AND ME BABY!!! yeahh!! we're all fish!!!!! every animal that isnt a bug is a fish. isnt that neat :) we did all come from them after all!

im lying though. final answer is the beluga sturgeon

i mean. look at these guys. theyre absolutely massive! and these arent even the largest theyve gone on record to get!!

sturgeons are best described as the freshwater whales of the great lakes. they are absolutely huge, theyre armored, and theyve even got the cutest little noses to top it all off!! beluga sturgeons specifically, though, are just absolutely humongous fish. they can grow to absolutely insane sizes, as you can probably see. gosh i love em though. unfortunately, they dont get as big due to our affinity for fishing them. they just dont get old enough to get that big.

honorable mentions go to most plecos, those catfish are pretty high up there, and most gourami species. sheepshead wrasse are also really cool, theyve got teeth and can change sexes. and i also like groupers. and electric eels (not eels. theyre fish.), and wobbegongs, and seashorses and ough god there are too many fish to pick 5. i gotta podt this now or else im gonna be arguing with myself over ranking fish for hours

the real honorable mention goes to the giant isopod though. not a fish but literally my fav sea creature

YEAHHHHH YOU FUCKING GET ME. YOU GET ME SO MUCH. and guess what bud? you've just enabled me to go off even fucking further so buckle up

We already know that saltwater techno trolls are dark with a pop of neon. they lowkey have 'bed of coral' looks, for camoflauge perhaps, and if i remember correctly they live in coral beds. so thats their own camo and adaption thing going on. theyre just so very creature to me regardless! NOW, ONTO THE SUBGENRES

Freshwater Trolls would absolutely have extra fins and sharp edges to them for being aerodynamic in rushing currents (think salmon) and coming in more bright colors because they're closer to the surface you know? Like, less deep colors with neon accents and glow, and more brighter colors. reds, greens, maybe even some silvery accents, some with almost opalescent scales (trouts lol), but they're Freshwater and in lots of different currents so lots of adaptions

Cave System Trolls being almost all black with a translucence at the end of their fins (like those see through fish I don't remember the name of) and with the anglerfish thing because it's dark down there. Webbed fingers, tail fins a bit more split, they're a little bit less fishy than the rest of the Techno Trolls due to narrow passages and less open spaces, clinging to walls that shake with every performance. It's deep and dark and all they have for light is what they produce and the occasional plantation that sprouts up and glows, they're like the more monstrous deep sea animals.

Lake Trolls with smaller and rounder fins due to much less current and just needing to dive deep down and straight up again to get a fair share of deeper micro organisms and higher up plantations on the lakebed. I imagine them coming in dark blue with the occasional mottle of a forest or emerald green, to blend in with the hue of the waters deeper down and the plantations. Most of their water currents could come from the beats almost always playing no matter what.

I blinked and decided to differentiate Lake Techno Trolls from Pond/Swamp Techno Trolls, the Swamp and Pond Techno Trolls have the psytrance subgenre. Their adaptions to there are somewhat similar to the Cave System Trolls in terms of having webbed fingers and more pronounced tail fins, but their colors are entirely different. All of them are found in these murky tones of greens and browns, and they have whiskers close to the base of their ear fins like catfish do.

Despite all of the differentiating adaptions and color schemes, they all share the beating pixel heart alongside other pixel motifs in their design because it's what ties them all back to Techno Music as a whole

thinking about how Techno Trolls are fish and the loads of electronica subgenres and genre iterations and like. Saltwater Techno Trolls. Freshwater Techno Trolls. Cave System Techno Trolls. Pond and Lake Techno Trolls. each with their own subgenre of electronica and techno, and someone needs to return to me a state of sanity, but until then imma keep talking. we hear the Oceanic Techno Trolls type of techno which has lyrics and lots of buildup, similar to lyrical happy hardcore and what Pendulum broke into for a bit. Freshwater could get Drum N Bass with how often fish get beat up by their rivers by the fast pace and roughness of it. Cave Systems could get stuff like Dubstep and other heavy hitting beats because its both aesthetic and sort of goes with the whole underground thing (im talking early dubstep over 2010s dubstep). Pond and Lake could have a more lofi focus due to the fact its a mostly still water environment and generally lax area, just vibing along in the nonexistent current to a smooth beat.

i have gone insane and im never topping this in terms of overly complex headcanon

Aaaand we’re live, y’all! LochWings are now available to create, if you so choose!

Tribe name: LochWings

Environment: Deep standing bodies of water ( lochs, swamps, fens, billabongs, etc )

Diet: Omnivore ( eats aquatic stuff or animals they can drag into the water ). If desperate, they have no qualms about catching and drowning dragons

Eggs: Off white round eggs that are laid in a mound ( think alligator ). Jealously guarded by mother and father. Clutch size is 1-6 eggs

Hatchlings: Large heads, and are honestly kinda blobby. Tiny horns and oversized back and belly fins. Dragonets stay with parents until 5, then they go off to find their own homes

Naming system: Aquatic flora/ fauna. Mythical aquatic creatures. Tends to reflect where they live ( Each-Usige the loch dwelling LochWing, Luderick the billabong dwelling LochWing )

Locomotion: Primarily swimming. When the ground is particularly wet/ flooded, they can move like penguins on their bellies. They’re capable of surprisingly fast speeds. Can launch themselves from the water using their powerful tails

Features: Muscular body with gills, fins that run down the back and belly, dangly lures on snout, bioluminescent chambers on the ends of lures and the tips of the rays in their fins, webbed talons, can see underwater. No wings. Pharyngeal jaws ( like a moray eel )

Colors: Mottled blues, greens, and browns ( take inspiration from freshwater ambush predators and catfish )

Strongest senses: Scent, vibration sensing ( in water and on land )

Tribe style: Somewhat loners, gather in bands during the rainy seasons ( in dry climates ), or spring for meetings ( discussing tribe life with hatchlings, pooling resources, etc )

Defenses: Sharp teeth, strong limbs and tail. They can spit boiling fluid like a bombardier beetle ( fluid is smelly and can blind if it lands in the eyes )

History: During a period of severe droughts, a population of SeaWings became trapped in underground rivers and deep lakes. While there was mass extinction on land, the sea was somewhat spared. There, the SeaWings evolved to cope with their environment: Long barbels to sense their environment, sharp, backwards facing teeth to make escape impossible. Their bulky wings were lost, and their scales became minuscule. What once felt like smooth gemstone now felt like sandpaper. They became fearsome predators that dwelled below the surface, snapping up fish and plant matter alike. Even animals on land weren’t safe: they were drug to their watery graves if they came too close to hungry mouths.

LochWings survived to the modern times, and while they tend to keep to themselves, there have been instances of desperate individuals and gravid females snapping up dragons who dare stray too close. How much of this is true is unknown…but in times of famine, the odd SkyWing or MudWing seem to go missing…with suspicious bones washing to shore of a lake weeks later

Rare traits ( only obtainable via MYO ticket/ adopts ): Cat-slit eyes, wing stubs, SeaWing glow scales, fins on tail ( betta, lion fish, etc ), smelly drool, albinism, melanism

do you think zed's antennae make him more like a catfish or an arthropod (shrimpish). i mean they're pretty bug-like but i feel like he's more of a freshwater guy. do you think if it's like a catfish situation it means he could grow an antennae mustache when he's older. or maybe he's more like some sort of deep sea fish but if so then his eyes would be huge i'm running out of posts to make

[bogleech]

Freshwater fish I‘d have if I had the money and dedication for that hobby:

Going only by fish that do in fact ever get sold in aquarium stores however seldomly:

Thalassophryne amazonica - a tiny freshwater predator convergently similar to a stargazer

Compsaraia samueli - a knifefish from river waters so deep and murky it has reduced eyes and enlarged jaws like a deep sea fish

Asterophysus - a catfish similarly inhabiting such dark river environments it looks like an abyssal animal and its stomach can stretch to fit prey twice its size

Cetopsis candiru - not actually the “candiru” that sucks blood but shares etymology with it, this dumpy looking fish is what amazon locals actually do worry about instead of piranha, will bore a hole straight into flesh and look like an idiot doing it

Chaca chaca - an “angler catfish” that imitates a rotten leaf and wiggles its little whiskers to attract prey that it vacuums up, named because it makes a noise like “chaca chaca” to attract a mate

A little more conventional looking but I’m also liking the pugnaciousness of Rhaphiodon here, though I think this is one of those fish people buy tiny and that’s not good because it’s meant to get several feet long and live in huge open areas.

Special mention to mudskippers which are actually brackish, and I kept one alive (or my mom did for me, at least) for almost a year as a kid which was a miracle because there was NO care information and we definitely were not keeping it correctly.

Special mention to “freshwater” flatfish because a lot of brackish species just get sold as such and there’s debate over identifying the ony species that actually prefers fresh

Naga Tasik Chini

I’ve been thinking a lot about Disney’s Raya, and why exactly the movie rubs the wrong way. Whilst drawing this, I was reflecting on how I’ve in the past wanted to tackle designing the Chini Lake dragon from Malaysia, one of the many “dragon” myths that inspired Sisu. My reservations were due to: 1) There is little to no visual reference to what the “dragon” looks like 2) The story is a part of a local indigenous folktale. 

That Disney was so happy to make such a strange design and tackle the entirety of SEA in 1 movie... speaks of how unafraid they were about misrepresenting our cultures/ that the movie was never for the people it purported to depict/draw inspiration from. If the aesthetic is palatable enough to the majority, who cares about the significance of these tales and their details? (Even worse, most Southeast Asians wouldn’t even be able to watch the movie legally anyway)

Anyway, having found a little more courage to draw from my own culture more, I decided to tackle a design of the Tasik Chini dragon. Having little visual reference, I decided to base off its overall features on local fauna such as catfish, mudskippers and snakes, with colours inspired by thai nagas. It’s more likely that Thai Nagas are based off the Oarfish, which is a deep sea fish that gets washed up during earthquakes and storms. For the Tasik Chini dragon, since tasik chini is a freshwater lake, I thought looking at freshwater fish like the catfish would make more sense. Mudskippers aren’t quite a resident at the lake, but they have such cool fins I thought it’d be nice to give them some love :P
